ELBBRUECKEN CAP
ELBBRUECKEN CAP
This Cap is the ideal companion for the Elbbrücken Pullover. It features the characteristic horizontal ribbing of the sweater’s turtleneck for a snug fit as well as the folded hem that gives it that rolled brim vibe.
It does not take a lot of yarn so once you’ve made the Elbbrücken Pullover, you’re likely to have enough leftovers for this matching cap.
For me, it's the perfect accessory all day long — whether I'm out and about or chilling indoors.
And especially during the warmer seasons when knitwear isn't typically on the menu, this cap is a welcome addition to my wardrobe.
